Lake Erie Wind-Turbine Project in High Gear for Next Year

(Cleveland Plain Dealer)

The nonprofit company created to develop wind turbines in Lake Erie has acquired significant engineering muscle for a shot at making the decade-old proposal finally happen.

Using a $4 million federal grant, the Lake Erie Energy Development Corp. has partnered with a team of about a dozen national and international expert companies and laboratories -- including several from northern Europe -- to get the job done.

The private partners have committed an additional $1 million in cost share for this portion of the project.
